Seeing Under Water

Under your skin.

 

Lies an undead relic rooted in beauty.

Submerging an eon of engravings within

This lake of repulsions.

 

Denegrating liquid

Giving shelter to the serpent: impermanence.

 

I bathe in a floral decay of interstellar emotion

Manifesting itself in your cellar door.

 

So tell the black rabbit that my eyes are still red.

And searching for clarity in this watered-down blue.
